Accepted Answer

$$4$$

Question 11

Which of the following is true about the function $$f(x) = \dfrac{1}{x}$$?

Accepted Answer

The function is odd.

Question 12

Given $$f(x) = x^2$ for x$$ \u003c 1$$, what is the domain of f$?

Accepted Answer

$$(-\infty, 1)$$

Question 13

The graph of $$f(x) = (x-1)^2$ + 3 is $$obtained from $$y = x^2$ by which transformations?

Accepted Answer

Shift right 1 unit, up 3 units

Question 14
